polystyrene, polyurethane foam industry information, polyolefin

Plastic foam

Styrofoam is a kind of plastic obtained by physical or chemical methods to generate microcellular structures inside the plastic. This plastic has the advantages of light weight, heat insulation, buffering, insulation, corrosion protection and low price. Almost all thermosetting and thermoplastic plastics can be made into foams. Common foams are polystyrene, polyurethane and polyolefin.

Introduction to foamed polypropylene

Foamed polypropylene (foamed polypropylene) is a kind of foamed plastic made of polypropylene resin. Compared with the commonly used foamed plastics, foamed polypropylene has many advantages.

At present, the manufacturers of high melt strength polypropylene raw materials include Basell, Borealis, Dow Chemical, Samsung, ExxonMobil and so on. Manufacturers of polypropylene foaming technology include JSP, Kaneka, BASF and Berstorff. Many domestic research institutions have done a lot of research on foaming process, and some manufacturers have also realized industrial production, such as Zhenhai Oil Refinery, Yanshan Petrochemical Resin Research Institute, Wuhan Futia, etc., but there is still a big gap in product quality compared with foreign countries.

The application field of foamed polypropylene

1. Food packaging

Foamed polypropylene has good degradability and oil resistance, which gives it a distinct advantage over refractory expanded polystyrene powder in the single-use packaging market.

2. Heat preservation

Foam polypropylene material is a new type of thermal insulation material with strong temperature resistance. It can usually withstand the temperature range of -40℃~ 110℃, and can withstand the high temperature of 130℃ for a short time.

3. The automobile industry

In recent years, the application of foamed polypropylene material in the automobile industry has been expanding, which can greatly reduce the weight of cars and save fuel consumption.

4. Construction sites

Waterproof protection material, floor buffer material, external wall insulation material

5. Electronic packaging

6. Buffer packaging

7. Sporting goods

8.Toys

In order to meet the market demand, Hangzhou Fuyang D&T Co.,Ltd  according to different market needs, the production of a variety of different foam cutting machine, mainly used for cutting different soft foam vibration machine, ring knife machine, cutting table hard foam and half hard foam wire knife machine, as well as for cutting EPS cutter.
